THE vAGARIEs of q beegar on horseback
have been proverbial since the beginning
of the world. It's not surprising, therefore,
that when men who cannot even conduct
themselves properly, are put in command oil
thousands O.: other men, they do not require
a long tima.io prove that they are ont OF
place. and that while they might be very
good as followers, az leaders they are utter
failures. There sro not great many nat
ural leaders of men, and those who are
made, not horn, require hard study and
long experience to qualify themselves for
the task. 20 suppose that men not born lead
ers, and without either study or experience
were deficient in ordinary information, and
with no knowledge OF human character
such, for instance, as Mr.. Irons and Mr.
Qainn, should know how to direct and man
age successfully thousands Of other men,
would be at least to put e very poor estl-
mate Upon the intelligence OF those thou
sands.

employers in the country. Like all other
wise employers he tries to make his en-
ployees contented and that 10 has succeed

the late unsuccessful strike in New York
''It is ntolerabe that under any circum-
stance the business of whole community

The New Signal officer.

Sergeant Cole, lately ordered to this city,
after completing his course of study at the
school of instruction at Washington, was at
the Baltimore station for year, and then
went to the Washington station for the same
length of time. He went to Boston as assis-
tant about six years ago, and after a short
time was promoted to the rank of sergeant
and placed in charge of the office, which po-
sition he has satisfactorily filled since that
time. He is very enthusiastic in his meteor
illogical work and is devoted student of the
science, having delivered lectures before the
Boston Scientific Society and other organiza-
tions. He has brought the Boston office to a
high state of perfection and it is now most
admirably and Systematically conducted
A year or more ago he invented system by
which each station can prepare in short
time aweather chart showing the meteorolog-
ical conditions all over the country, as given
by the Geographic reports. At that time all
maps were prepared at Washington and
reached the several stations from one to
three days later Mr.. Coles invention was
such an improvement that 1t was at once
adopted by the department and is now In use
at all the principal stations.

AM ERICAN WOMEN.
Is Their Beauty Improving 7-lf So,
What is the Cause of 1t?

A well known English traveller estimates
that the beauty of our women has greatly
improved during the past two years. After
closely investigating many individual in
stances, and from inquiry among leading
druggists, he concludes that the reason lies
inthe greater attention recently paid to the
care Of the face and complexion. A great
majority of women are ignorant of the
cause of those hideous imperfections which
appear on the face, such as pimples, liver
spots, blotches, redness black heads, etc. :.ss-
we'll as ignorant of a safe, quick and sure
remedy for them. OF course, all cleanly
women, as we'll as those who are not so
dainty realize that with their faces disfig-
affed by the troubles referred to above, they
must be repulsive to men. as well as to them
selves, as reflected in their mirrors They
know that no personal charm, no fastidious
dress, no brilliancy of mind can offset face
not perfectly Clearly looking or marred by
imperfections easily removable, and which
indicate to men uhtidiness. This is one
thing no man ever forgives in the woman he
loves or admircs. If the truth were known,
1t has been the original cause Of more es-
arrangements between lovers and husbands
and wives, than any other one thing. Men
are apt to judge of women's personal habits
by the condition of their compilations. Nine.
Recamier held her sway in French society
for years, and yet history records her princi-
pal charm to have been marvellous COM
plexion, preserved to her death at eighty
years of age. Patti, Clara Louise Kellogg,
Bernhardt Modjeska, Davenport, Fursch-
Madi, Mrs. James Brown Potter. besides
many other artists and all our leading socie-
ty women, use the same preparation that
was used by Nine. Recamier. 1t is quick
and safe. Does not contain lead, bismuth OF.
arsenic. 1t is Recamier Cream.

Departure Of MR.. Barker.

Hon. Clark Fl. Barker left Portland Thurs
day evening, to take up his residence at his
new home in Abilene, Kansas. where he will
assume the presidency Of the new Abilene
National Bank which has just started in that
iourishing western city with capital Of a
quarter million Of dollars. The selection Of
Mr.. Barker for this responsible position was
a wise movement ON the part of the stock
holders. Mr.. Barker is man of affairs, a
gentleman whose experience has been broad
and varied, and whose selection for the inn
portant position of postmaster of this city
showed the estimation in which he was held
by the merchants as well as the professional
men and politicians. During his term of
office here he made many improvements in
the post office, and his management was
such as to convince these gentlemen that
they had not erred in judgment. While
Portland parts with Mr.. Barker with regret
our citizens can congratulate Abilene ON the
character and ability of the gentleman who
now makes that city his future home, and
wish him all success in his new venture.
